mystery piece

I own this piece for quite some time now. Never shown it on the forum. I'm not sure if it has to go in the 'Etnographic Weapons' section or in the 'European Armoury' section.

When I bought it, the seller told me it was of Chinese origin. That's why I put it here.

Looks like some kind of small sword. Wooden handle and sheath with brass fittings. The blade has a triangular form. I wouldn't be surprised if it was made out of a bajonet of some kind.

Total length : 55,5 cm
Length of blade : 42 cm

I would appreciate any input

. Look at the pics
